What is Technorati Authority?

I have submitted some of my blogs to Technorati and I don't have any authority yet.
Technorati says that authority is the number of blogs linking to a website in the last six months. The higher the number, the more Technorati authority the blog has.
Well, my blogs have backlinks from other sites and blogs. Then... Why doesn't it appear here? Does the link have to be in a pinged post?
Teachnorati also says that authority is determined by the number of unique blogs indexed by Technorati that have linked to yours in the past 180 days.
All of the other blogs are indexed but nothing special.
Do you have any experience with it? Does your blog have any authority yet?

all of my blog have authority from 2-61, I try to increase my authority to 100, and after I reach 100 I guess I will try to get 200, btw, I have some widget to increase the technorati authority...

I've had a look at this and it's pretty unclear. I'm guessing (and it really is a guess) that they count how many posts that Technorati pings have a link to another Technorati registered blog. So if Site A links to Site B, Site B gets an authority increase IF both are listed on Technorati. If either one isn't, then no authority.
That's my guess. You'd probably have to email them and ask if you want a real description!

So my authority rank increases when a blog registered in technorati have a backlink to my blog. I see, thanks for this information! It was helpful.
